Three years ago a moor in North Yorkshire caught fire and burned for a couple days, removing most of the peat cover. Prior to the fire there were a few known barrows and a couple of dozen carved rocks known to be on the moor.
After the fire, dozens of low cairns, a couple more possible barrows & ring cairns, a whole bunch of as-yet unclassified features and over 200 carved rocks were recorded including one carved kerb stone of national if not international significance.
It's no Callanish but a pretty major site by most standards.
So yes, there are probably hundreds of similar sites throughout our islands and just off our coasts waiting to be recognised.
